You got to give Roy Williams credit. He didn’t make any excuses for his pitiful performance in the 37-21 win over Atlanta, his first outing after missing a game with sore ribs.

IRVING – The contributions the Cowboys received Sunday from the interior of their defensive front weren’t limited to Pro Bowl NT Jay Ratliff. There wasn’t much of a dropoff when Junior Siavii, Ratliff’s backup, entered the game. The 6-foot-5, 318-pound fourth-year player had his best game of the season in the 37-21 thrashing of Atlanta.

IRVING – The consensus is that Cowboys S Gerald Sensabaugh did an outstanding job defending Atlanta TE Tony Gonzalez. Although that’s true, Sensabaugh wasn’t the only player who gave Gonzalez fits. Nickel LB Bobby Carpenter also had a hand in holding the future hall of famer to only four catches for 37 yards. “He didn’t […]
